First stage of blowing it was at home to Billericay, going from 1-0 up with three minutes to play and in the last play off place with 3 minutes to play, to 2-1 down and Billericay leapfrogging them. Hamlet never recovered after that. Major changes in personnel expected.InspectorSands said:

Looking the table, I see Dulwich are 10th, which is pretty poor considering their income from craft beers alone!InspectorSands said:I skipped The Valley and went down to Folkestone Invicta v Dulwich Hamlet. Dulwich went 3-0 up within half an hour, but let the lead slip and it ended 3-3, which summed up their underwhelming first season back in the Isthmian League.
Good trip down to the seaside, though, and over 800 in there including a couple of hundred from Hamlet.
It's 2 up and 4 down from the Isthmian Premier isn't it?It is 2 up - one automatic, one through play-offs - and 4 down. Hoping Margate can stay up just to keep the seaside away day, but it doesn't look good for them.There was a chance of Dulwich making the play-offs about a month ago, but then they blew it by losing three in a row, including a 4-0 home defeat to Enfield Town.1 -
My local team Dover continue their parachute ride into another league.

Really pleased eastbourne avoided the drop. Went off as joint 3rd favs for the title and spent most of the season in bottom 4 with Welling. Think it was 1 defeat in 13 to end the season. Sounds like they will be splashing the cash again to try and be at the business end of the table. The manager, Adam Murray, has a very big reputation at level 6 so should be much better next season.

Chelmsford secured second place with 84 points, their best ever in the national league south (wondering if that includes when it was the Beezer homes league?) playoff game at home on Saturday between the winner of Braintree and bath. If it's Braintree it'll be a bit spicy, hope they make half an attempt at segregation0

Gateshead miss out on the playoffs due to stadium issues. Appears the council were unwilling to give them a 10 year lease as required by the EFL

9th tier club win 12-0 against league's worst side after needing 12 goal swing to make playoffs - Fan Banter
9th tier club Highgate United win 12-0 against the league’s worst side after needing a 12 goal swing to make the playoffs.
Incredibly, in what was the final game of the season, Highgate United needed a 12 goal swing against Bewdley Town to make the Midland League Premier Division playoffs, and somehow managed it.
Congleton Town won the division with 81 points from 34 games played, Lichfield were 2nd with 73 points, 3rd place Darlaston with 66, and Stourport in 4th with 62 points.
Battling for that final playoff place was Studley and Highgate, and Highgate managed to overtake Studley, snatching their spot after the 12-0 win on Thursday.
Bewdley meanwhile are bottom of the league, 18th, with 4 points from 33 games played, 1 win, 1 draw, 31 defeats, 16 goals scored, 153 goals conceded, and a -137 goal difference.

May i although belated to say well done to Ebbsfleet Utd. A few weeks ago they were written off. Incredible to think that Dartford beat them 16 months ago twice and there are now 2 divisions between them.1

Fleets problem was they thought they could just carry on from last year, it did work for a while but there are some experienced clubs in there who just have that bit more about them.
If they manage to stay up they have a great manager and hope they will learn from this year.

My local team Spalding are top of the league with 1 game to go. At home on Saturday and a win sees them get promoted to step 3. They lost in the playoffs last year.
They’ve actually been 2nd most of the year but the team at the top has 6 points deducted so hopefully a win this weekend helps them avoid another playoff lottery.
oh and to celebrate/give a final push it’s free entry for the last game.1 -
Chris Solly is still at Ebbsfleet although not sure his official status. He played in the Kent Senior Cup final defeat to Maidstone last week.1

Always had a soft spot for kettering. One of my first away games with Dartford was a trip to Rockingham road back in 1981, when an injury time equaliser gave Dartfor a 4-4 draw. although they eventually went down on the last day of the season. I remember being amazed by the huge stand that Kettering had. They seem to have spent most of their time since then ground hopping and in financial difficulty (they were when I first went there). Are they playing in Kettering these days?swordfish said:Kettering, my local club, finished their season yesterday beating Coalville (sounds familiar) and are safe.
May not be of interest to most, but they were due to play Nuneaton Borough in their final game, but they went out of business mid season having their results scrubbed.

@ken_shabbyThey play in Burton Latimer (Latimer Park) on the outskirts of Kettering, where the smell from the Weetabix factory wafts over the ground. The Rockingham Road ground is housing now, still throwing more up now as it happens, which saddens me.ken_shabby said:

I feel guilty for not having been to see them play in all the time since they left there, but I do see their leading all time goals scorer at a pub quizzing every other week (Roy Clayton), who's in a team called Up the baggies! Not seen him for a few weeks now though and did hear he's not been so well of late.
I'm seriously thinking of starting going next season. They need all the support they can get.1 -

Scunthorpe have lost on penalties (to Boston) in the NLN Play-Off Semi-Finals
Shame for them, given their off the field issues at the start of the season0 -
Got to love the Play-Offs
Barnet finished 2nd in the League, with 91-pts, they're 2-0 down after 30mins in the Semi-Final to Solihull Moors, who finished with 71-pts
Also I imagine if Barnet lose, we'll have a new side in League Two next season with Bromley / Altrincham / Solihull Moors the only sides left.0 - Sponsored links:

Fair play to them. Dropped only 2 points away from home all season and that was only due to a last minute goal v runners up Ramsgate.AFKABartram said:Cray Valley PM promoted to Ishmian Prem (7th tier) for first time in history0 -
Scunthorpe remain in Conference League North after losing on pens in play offs.

Disappointed for Barnet if they lose , but the other 3 teams would all make a more interesting story reaching the EFL for the first time.2 -
3-0 to Solihull. Looks like season over for Barnet.1

Biggleswade Town also move up to tier 7 as champions of Southern League Div 1 central. ( Yes I know there are only two of us interested in that ) 0

They will be in the same seventh tier division as Cray Wanderers, Dartford. And Dulwich Hamlet too.
Depending on clashes with us the ground is within walking distance for me, and given how depressing it is supporting Charlton these days, a stroll down to one of their affordable games is a nice prospect.
Their home crowds have risen to around 250-300 this season🤔0 -

I ticked off another new ground yesterday, Didcot Town FC v Hendon.
Didcot are relegated from Southern Premier along with three of Hendon's more local clubs; Harrow Borough, Hayes and Beaconsfield. The already crippling annual travel bill looks like being increased further, if those clubs are replaced by too many South-West clubs. As ever, we're praying for a reshuffle and a return to The Isthmian League.1
